instrument of
another entity
Financial asset is
• cash
• a contractual right:
• to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity
• to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities under favourable conditions
• a contract that will or may be settled in the entity's own equity instruments and is
• a non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to receive a variable number of the entity's own equity instruments; or
• a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed
number of the entity's own equity instruments (See further for examples)
Financial liability is
• A contractual obligation
• a contract that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments and is:
• a non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to deliver a variable number of the entity’s own equity instruments; or
• a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a
fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments

Examples:
1.You sell an option to deliver 100 shares of Apple to your friend.
This is a financial liability, because the shares are NOT YOUR OWN shares. They are shares of somebody else (Apple in this case).
2.You sell an option to deliver your own shares in total value of $100 to your friend.
This is a financial liability, too, because although the shares are yours, their number is variable. Why?
Because, the exact number of shares will depend on the current price of the share at the delivery. You will calculate it as 100 divided by the market
price of one share.
3.You sell an option to deliver 100 pieces of your own shares to your friend.
This is an equity instrument, because the shares are yours and their amount is fixed – 100.
Equity
Any contract that evidences a residual interest in net assets of an entity
Examples
– Ordinary shares
– Share warrants
– Mandatorily convertible preference shares

IAS 32 - Equity or Liability Distinction
• There is no obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial assets or financial liability; and
• The issuer will exchange fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.
Yes No
Liability Equity
• Mandatory redemption • Fixed amount of cash for a fixed amount of shares – the fixed-for-
fixed criteria
• Puttable instruments @ NAV
• Not dependent on:
• Only a conditional right to avoid
– Ability to make distributions
• Indirect obligation
– Intention to make distributions
• Settled in a variable number of shares
– Negative impact on ordinary shares
• Contingent settlement provisions
– Amount of issuer’s reserves
Shares that are redeemable at the option of the holder ('puttable shares')
Shares that are redeemable at the option of the issuer ('callable shares')

Compound Instruments
Example
• ABC PLC issues 2,000 convertible bonds.
• The bonds have a 3 year term, and are issued at par with a face value of Rs.1,000 per bond, giving total proceeds of INR 2,000,000.
• Interest is payable annually in arrears at a nominal annual interest rate of 6% (i.e. INR.120,000 per annum).
• Each bond is convertible at any time up to maturity into 250 ordinary shares. When the bonds are issued, the prevailing market interest rate for
similar debt without conversion options is 9% per annum.

Example
• policy to sell assets when there is an increase in the asset's credit risk or to manage credit concentration risk
• sales close to maturity of the assets where proceeds approximate remaining contractual cash flows
• increased sales in a particular period if the entity can explain the reasons for the sales
Entity A has a portfolio of financial assets which is part of a held-to-collect business model. Due to change in legal requirement, entity A has to sell some
of the assets and has to significantly rebalance its portfolio.
Solution
No, as the selling activity is considered an isolated or one-time event.
However, if the rules require entity A to routinely sell financial assets from its portfolio and the value of assets sold is significant, entity A's business model
would not be held-to-collect.
• compared to 'hold to collect' business model, this business model will typically involve greater frequency and value of sales
• Examples of objectives consistent with 'hold to collect and sell' business model:
‒ manage everyday liquidity needs
‒ maintain a particular interest yield profile
‒ match the duration of the financial assets to the duration of the liabilities that those assets are funding
Example
Entity A is planning a capital expenditure in five years. For funding the expansion, entity A invested, funds in financial assets. However the maturity of
financial assets does not match with the period of capital expenditure.
Entity A might hold the financial assets, till its maturity or will sell before maturity, if they fetch higher returns. Remuneration of the portfolio’s managers is
based on return from the assets.
Solution
Entity A’s objective for managing the financial assets is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets.
Solution
Entity Z holds these bonds to collect the contractual cash flows until it needs the cash to invest in the stadium. It may also make opportunistic sales if
management considers that market prices rise to levels that significantly exceed their own assessment of the bonds’ fundamental valuation. Accordingly
the bonds held by Entity Z would be accounted for under a hold to collect and sell business model.
• Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss if they are not held within a business model whose objective is:
‒ to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows, or
‒ achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets
Example
− assets managed with the objective of realising cash flows through sale
− a portfolio that is managed, and whose performance is evaluated, on a fair value basis
Scenario Change of
Scenario
business model?
Entity A holds a group of debt assets originally intending to collect all the contractual cash flows. As a result
of a cash shortage management decides to sell half the assets
Entity B holds a portfolio of debt assets for trading and classifies them at FVTPL. Due to a severe financial
crisis the market in these assets disappears.
Entity C is a financial services firm with a large retail domestic mortgage business. As a result of a strategic
review management decides to close this business and commences a Programme to sell the loans
• Principal is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition – principal amount may change over the life of the financial asset (for example,
if there are repayments of principal)
• Examples
(a) Interest rate is linked with equity index
(b) A simple loan Interest is linked with gold index
leverage increases the variability of the contractual cash flows with the result that they do not have the economic characteristics of interest.
• Examples
(a) Interest is leveraged – say 3 times of risk-free rate
(b) Indian loan interest rate is 5 times of EPS of the company
• in order to assess whether the element provides consideration for only the passage of time, an entity:
‒ applies judgment
‒ considers relevant factors such as
• currency in which the financial asset is denominated
• period for which the interest rate is set

Amortised • Host instrument - Amortised cost,
cost
• Embedded derivative - fair value
• liabilities held for trading (includes all derivatives) are measured at fair value.
• financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair
value.
Other Liabilities
Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability.
Example of transaction cost are regulatory and registration fees, loan processing fees, brokerage, etc.
Note : Transaction costs expected to be incurred on a financial instrument's transfer or disposal are not included in the financial instrument's
measurement.
Example
XYZ purchases a financial asset for $1,000 which is classified as a financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Solution
If the asset had been classified as fair value through profit or loss it would be measured at $1,000 and the $20 would be expensed to profit or loss
immediately.

Prepayment Features with Negative
Compensation
Applying the IFRS 9 requirements for recognising and measuring financial instruments to
certain debt instruments where the borrower is permitted to prepay the instrument at an amount that could be less than the unpaid principal and
interest owed. Such a prepayment
feature is often referred to as including potential ‘negative compensation’.
Under the then existing requirements of IFRS 9, a company would have measured a financial asset with negative compensation at FVTPL as the
‘negative compensation’ feature would have been viewed as introducing potential cash flows that were not solely payments of principal and interest.
However, to improve the usefulness of the information provided, in particular on the instrument’s effective interest rate and expected credit losses, the
IASB issued the amendments so that entities will now be able to measure some prepayable financial assets with negative compensation at
amortised cost.

Derivative
Host Contract
Embedded derivative may be Interest rate index, Commodity Index, Equity index
The contract to buy/sell goods is a host contract. The movement in exchange rates is the embedded derivative ?
Solution
A purchased convertible instrument would be an embedded derivative that is not separated because the host contract (debt asset) is within the scope of
IFRS 9.
If the host contract is not a financial instrument, the embedded contract is accounted for separately.

Examine whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk in respect of the loans ?
The measurement basis for the loss allowance is different for both the loans irrespective of the fact that both loans have the same grade at the reporting
date.
• credit risk has increased significantly where payments ≥ 30 days past due
‒ reasonable and supportable information demonstrates that even where payments ≥ 30 days past due, this does not represent a significant
increase in credit risk
Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over instrument's expected life
Company operates only in one geographic region, and has a large number of small clients.
Gupta & Company uses a provision matrix to determine the lifetime expected credit losses for the portfolio.
It is based on Company’s historical observed default rates, and is adjusted by a forward-looking estimate that includes the probability of a worsening
economic environment within the next year.
At each reporting date, Company updates the observed default history and forward-looking estimates.
At the end of the next reporting date, the fair value of the debt instrument decreases to 950. Z concludes that there has not been a significant increase in
credit risk since initial recognition and that 12-month expected credit losses on 31 Dec 2020 are 30.
NO loss allowance is recognized in the B/S in respect of debt instruments that are measured at FVOCI, because the carrying amount of these
assets is their fair value. However disclosures have to be provided about the loss allowance amount.

Illustration 17 and 18
The purchase price of the machine, payable in cash on 30 June 2020, was 2 million shillings. On 1 January 2020, Kingale entered into a forward contract
to purchase 2 million shillings on 30 June 2020 for $1·1 million.
On 31 March 2020, a contract to buy 2 million shillings on 30 June 2020 would have required a payment of $1·2 million.
On 30 June 2020 the spot rate of exchange was 1·6 shillings = $1. The forward contract was settled by the other party making a payment of $150,000 to
Kingale on that date.
Kingale estimated that the useful life of the machine was five years from 30 June 2020, with no residual value.
The currency contract fully complies with the criteria and conditions for the use of cash flow hedge accounting as set out in IFRS 9.
Required:
Explain the accounting treatment for the years ended 31 March 2020 and 31 March 2021.
The property, plant and equipment is not recognised in the year ended 31 March 2020 because the contract to purchase is an executory one.
At 31 March 2020 the derivative will be shown on the statement of financial position under current assets at its fair value of $100,000. ($1.2 m - $1.1 m)
Between 1 April 2020 and 30 June 2020 a further gain on revaluation of the derivative of $50,000 ($150,000 – $100,000) will be recognised in other
comprehensive income.
On 30 June 2020 the machine will be recognised in property, plant and equipment at cost. The initial amount recognised will be $1,250,000 (2 million ÷
1·6).
The financial asset will be removed from the statement of financial position of Kingale when the contract is settled on 30 June.
This is either done by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset at the date of recognition or by reclassifying the gain gradually as the property, plant and
equipment is depreciated.
Assuming the former depreciation for the current period is $165,000 (($1,250,000 – $150,000) × 1/5 × 9/12).
Assuming the former the closing balance in property, plant and equipment is $935,000 ($1,250,000 – $150,000 – $165,000).
Solution
Yes. Entity K is permitted to designate the basis swap as a fair value hedge of the variable rate asset. The fair value hedging adjustment to the debt
attributable to the risk being hedged will be measured against an overnight rate in order that all of the change in fair value attributable to interest rate risk
is included. As a result, ineffectiveness may arise in the relationship.
